While various streams of sensations constantly flow within the new brain, distinct waves of behavior are also constantly generated within it. These currents of behavior, as conduits for the conscious and unconscious glands, penetrate the various dimensions of our daily lives, shaping our personalities. Neuroscience also recognizes that every living being harbors a vast storehouse of imagination. These imaginations sometimes create chapters of deep contemplation, while others leave their mark on various stages of our daily lives. In times of joy and sorrow, we typically meet with our loved ones to express our condolences. However, when such circumstances are not present, the practice of communicating through letters, telephone calls, and emails has become prevalent.
After a thorough study of human personality, thinkers have concluded that animals possess a rich array of senses of sight, memory, and touch. Depending on the situation, individuals display their behavior towards their family, friends, and relatives through these three emotional experiences. In the example of memory, it is said that a female turtle hides her eggs in the sand of the seashore and goes elsewhere to find food. When she returns late in the evening and is unable to find her eggs, she cries pitifully and continues searching for them until finally she identifies the place where she hid them.
Throughout life, we experience the sensation of touch in many ways. Upon a child's arrival on earth, the first thing they experience is their mother's touch. The wonder of this touch is that the mother endures excruciating pain during childbirth, and as soon as the child is placed in their mother's arms, the crying child calms down instantly, and the pain of childbirth vanishes. Even after this stage, if the child is crying for any reason and other family members fail to soothe them, the moment they are placed in their mother's lap, the child becomes completely calm and happy. This, along with the mother's affection, is the power of the child's touch vibration, which has been felt since the creation of the universe. Even at other stages of life, the intense sense of touch experienced by a person while hugging their mother is rare elsewhere.
The child becomes even happier as soon as he is placed in the mother's lap. This is the power of the child's mother's affection, as well as the vibration of touch, which has been felt since the creation of the universe. Even in other stages of life, the intense feeling of touch, which a person experiences while hugging his mother, is rare elsewhere.
When we meet our friends or relatives after a long time, we hug them or shake hands with them, and then the hand-to-hand hug and the wave of touch through the neck make each other happy, and hormones of happiness get activated. In the same sequence, in the time of illness or grief, when a friend puts a hand on the shoulder of the suffering partner, the intensity of his grief reduces. When the eyes of both the friends become moist due to emotion, then the sad mind becomes lighter for some time. When we meet an unknown person at a corner and shake hands formally, that moment opens the door of intimacy by laying the foundation of the circle of acquaintance. This method not only teaches us the lesson of decency and politeness but also provides an opportunity to pick up many pearls hidden in the ocean of etiquette.
Countless animals and birds in nature also find themselves involved in this happiness. In childhood, when Grandmother used to go to feed the cow of the house, she would first caress its head and gently coax it, and the cow would take the portion of food kept in her hand. Birds are also seen deeply immersed in the language of touch and emotions. Little chicks in the nest recognize the sound of their mother, who brings food and water for them in her mouth, from a distance and come out of the nest and eat the food while chirping, whereas if any other bird is sitting nearby, they feel its sound as inauspicious and remain hidden inside the nest.
We often see the importance of touch in some key areas of life but fail to understand its deeper meaning. At the beginning of agricultural work, before stepping into their fields for the first time, farmers apply a tilak to the soil with their forehead and bow down before starting the remaining agricultural work. Similarly, when our soldiers depart for any field to perform their duties, they touch their weapons with their foreheads, and in war, they do not forget to touch and pay respect to their motherland first. In sports, many players, upon entering the field, touch Mother Earth with their hands and bow their heads. Gardeners of a flower garden also keep providing the pleasure of touch, fragrance, and energy to their tender plants.
There are many dimensions to the language of this pleasure, the movement in it, and the mechanism, which strengthens our nerves. Touch simply means that the senses are in contact with the sensory part. When appropriate sensory conditions gather, that is, when they come in contact with each other, then the senses get awakened and are overwhelmed with the coolness of love and affection. Broadly speaking, the coming together of an object, sense, organ, and a moment of consciousness is the creation of the feeling of touch. There is a need to free ourselves for a few moments from the artificial shade of materialistic delusion and go to old classmates, relatives, any old age home, or orphanage and give relief to the people yearning for sympathy and empathy with this pleasure.
